Octets (802.11a/g/j/p OFDM)
Octets is the number of decoded Octets transmitted in the OFDM Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing: OFDM employs multiple overlapping radio frequency carriers, each operating at a carefully chosen frequency that is Orthogonal to the others, to produce a transmission scheme that supports higher bit rates due to parallel channel operation. OFDM is an alternative tranmission scheme to DSSS and FHSS. burst. The 802.11a/g/j/p OFDM Demodulation Format determines whether or not the Octet data is displayed in the symbol table:
The Octets data is determined from the LENGTH and RATE fields in the detected SIGNAL symbol.
Octets is not available (N/A) because the coding rate is not known.
